Donna Marie Rassulo, 74, of Acton, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on October 30, 2025, at Emerson Hospital in Concord after complications from COPD. Born in Scituate, Massachusetts, she spent her life caring for others with compassion and skill.

Donna was the beloved wife of the late John Anthony Rassulo and devoted mother of Garret Rassulo and Nicole Rassulo. A dedicated nurse since the 1970s, she cared for countless patients during her career at Massachusetts General Hospital, Acton Medical Associates, and later as a home health care nurse serving the Middlesex County area.

A lifelong horsewoman, Donna taught riding at Harmony Horse Stables and shared a special bond with her horse, Fred. She was also a talented writer, poet, musician, and lifelong lover of fashion—and especially her black cats.

Donna will be remembered for her passion for teaching, her skilled nursing, and her fighting spirit. 

A memorial service will be announced at a later date.
